Pakistan cricket legend Wasim Akram has declared Mohammed Siraj as the best Indian bowler currently, surpassing even Jasprit Bumrah. Akram praised Siraj’s fiery performance in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England, where he bowled 185.3 overs across five Tests, took 23 wickets, and claimed two five-wicket hauls. On the final day of the fifth Test, Siraj’s relentless pace helped India clinch a dramatic six-run win by dismantling England’s lower order. Akram, rarely a viewer outside work, said he was “glued” to Siraj’s spell, calling it full of “hunger and passion.” He emphasized Siraj’s leadership, stamina, and mental strength, stating that Test cricket is “alive and kicking” because of such performances.
